Why does this work?

--clipit--

A#=100
B#=533
C#=8

D&=A#*B#*C#

--clipit--

where this

--clipit--

D&=100*533*8

<Overflow Error>

--clipit--

doesn't?  It seems that QB won't let me insert anything
beyond the 32767 or -32768 limits using direct numbers as
in my second clip...

Is this a bug, an undocumented feature, or just another of
those annoyances? :-)
